It was perfect for our honeymoon stay. Drove over 500 miles to get there and it was worth it. It is paradise on earth. It is high quality and has amazing amenities. The staff are awesome too.
We had a lovely stay in The Hilton overall, however we did have to move rooms as the first room we had was very noisy with people walking and moving around above us being very audible. This is due to the fact that it is an old building with squeaky floorboards and poor noise insulation! The next room was lovely but very very hot due to being above the swimming pool and the sun shining directly into the room for most of the day. It could do with some air conditioning to help! The staff were really pleasant nad helpful, the hotel is clean and rooms very well equipped. We had room only therefore did not try the breakfast on offer, we did have dinner in the Keilor Restaurant one night which was average, perhaps even a little disappointing in terms of the food quality and the restaurant is also very noisy! There are some great places to eat down in the town of Ballater so we chose to go there instead which was fantastic.
We have stayed at Craigendarroch several times before, always in one of the lodges. This time we chose a Junior Suite in the hotel.
Everything was even better than expected. Lovely accommodation, friendly staff and great facilities.
We will definitely return.
